Port Davey Picnic

Fly & Dine

Pair Tasmania’s wild scenery with local flavours

Fly over white beaches, rugged coastline and waterfalls to land in a place where Tasmania’s wild beauty meets a picnic of local produce. Here, a picnic of Tasmanian flavours is waiting — and somehow, it always tastes better in the wild, whether it’s sand between your toes, the hush of ancient rainforest, or the still waters of a World Heritage harbour at your feet.

The Tassie Beach Picnic

Lift off from Hobart’s waterfront and trace the coastline before touching down on a stretch of beach that feels like it belongs just to you. Waiting is a picnic of Tasmanian produce, best enjoyed with bare feet in the sand and the salt air on your skin. Some days it’s completely deserted, other days you might share the shoreline with a pair of oystercatchers or a passing wallaby — either way, the setting does the celebrating for you. Bring a bottle of bubbles, or your Tasmanian drop of choice, if you’d like to make the moment sparkle.

Maria Island

Depart Hobart’s waterfront and follow Tasmania’s glittering east coastline before touching down on Maria Island’s grass runway — a landing that already feels like stepping back in time. This entire island is a national park and sanctuary, where wombats graze freely, cliffs plunge to turquoise seas, and echoes of convict history linger in the old stone ruins. Take a short walk to stretch your legs, then settle into a picnic of Tasmanian produce. Sometimes it’s sunshine on the bays, sometimes sea mist drifting over the headlands — either way, the island’s stories seem to weave themselves into every bite.

Bring along a bottle of bubbles, or your favourite Tasmanian drop, if you’d like to make the moment sparkle.

Bathurst Harbour & Port Davey

Lift off from Hobart’s waterfront and head west, soaring over the jagged peaks of the Arthur Range, past the iconic spire of Federation Peak. Glide over ancient forests and sparkling waterways before descending into a secluded bay along Port Davey and Bathurst Harbour, where white quartzite sands line the shore and the tannin-stained waters swirl gently around you — a hidden corner of Tasmania’s wild west. Here, enjoy your prepared gourmet picnic hamper and soak in the untouched beauty of one of Tasmania’s most remote Wilderness World Heritage locations. Bring a bottle of bubbles, or your Tasmanian drop of choice, if you’d like to make the moment sparkle.

For those seeking a longer immersion, On Board’s 4 or 6-night all-inclusive expeditions into Port Davey & Bathurst Harbour aboard their purpose-built vessel, Odalisque III, offer the ultimate way to experience this wild corner of Tasmania in style. Discover more at

Gordon River & Sir John Falls

Lift off from Hobart’s waterfront and soar over Tasmania’s central highlands into the island’s wild southwest. Descend for a thrilling water landing on the mighty Gordon River—its tannin-dark waters threading through ancient forests, a place fought for, preserved, and fiercely protected for future generations. Take a short stroll to Sir John’s Falls, where cascading waters meet moss-draped rainforest, and enjoy a picnic of locally sourced Tasmanian produce.

East Coast Adventure

Lift off from Hobart’s waterfront and follow Tasmania’s glittering east coast on a journey that blends soaring coastal panoramas, rich history, and a picnic with a view. From above, the Freycinet Peninsula unfurls — pristine beaches curling into turquoise bays, rugged headlands framing the world-famous curve of Wineglass Bay, and the Hazards rising like sculpted sentinels over Coles Bay.

Your journey continues to Maria Island, where the air feels quieter, the scenery untouched. Touch down at historic Darlington, a convict-era settlement steeped in story. Wander among moss‑cloaked ruins and roam with wombats, wallabies, and Cape Barren geese before settling in for a private picnic of locally sourced Tasmanian produce framed by the Tasman Sea.

On the return, soar past towering sea cliffs, hidden bays, and a sweeping bird’s‑eye view of Port Arthur’s convict heritage. This is more than a flight — it’s Tasmania, seen, tasted and felt in a way few ever experience.

Bring bubbles or your favourite Tasmanian drop to make the moment sparkle.

Tassie Mountain Tour

Lift off from Hobart’s waterfront and follow the River Derwent before climbing over the dramatic face of kunanyi / Mount Wellington — a defining feature of the city’s skyline and the gateway to Tasmania’s wild heart. Beyond its summit, the landscape unfolds into the vast World Heritage wilderness of the Southwest National Park. Jagged peaks, folded valleys, and glacial lakes stretch to the horizon — Federation Peak, Mount Anne, and countless untamed ridgelines revealing Tasmania at its most raw and beautiful.

Touch down on the still waters of Lake Pedder for a moment few ever experience — a gentle water landing in the heart of wilderness. Step ashore for a picnic of Tasmanian produce surrounded by mountain air, silence, and the calls of native birds echoing across the lake.

The return flight sweeps past Frenchmans Cap and Mount Ossa, Tasmania’s highest peak, tracing a path over alpine plateaus and hidden valleys before descending once more to Hobart’s harbour.

This is more than a scenic flight — it’s Tasmania’s mountain country, told through sky and water.

Bring a bottle of bubbles, or your favourite Tasmanian drop, if you’d like to make the moment sparkle.

Location: Southwest National Park
